Glamour, sophistication and effortless ease coalesce in this living room designed for someone who loves to entertain and does it well. Drawing inspiration from iconic designers, such as Dorothy Draper and James Mont, this room embraces the softer side of the mid-20th century by combining sleek lines and luxurious materials with witty curves and bold doses of pattern and color. The richly upholstered verdant walls, ebonized trim and sparkling chandelier add high-wattage drama to the mix. This room may nod to that glamorous past, but ultimately 21st century comfort and function reign supreme.
